Holiday Service Reminder - Tuesday thru Friday Routes Delayed One Day

December 24, 2018

Tuesday is Christmas! And since our people get the day off to celebrate, all scheduled residential trash and recycling routes from Tuesday thru Friday will run 1 day late. The same schedule applies for New Year's week. Reminder - Especially this time of year when route pick up times can change for one reason or another, we need to ask you to please have carts out by 6:00 a.m. or the night before to assure pick up. By the way, if you have a Christmas tree to dispose of, please call our service center for options. Merry Christmas!

To have success in asking people to sort their waste, we have found that you should not have trash carts stand alone.

Early in March one of our Randy’s drivers was heading northbound out of the river valley in Bloomington when a large bird flew into the front of the truck. Unbeknown to the driver, the bird flipped behind the cab of the truck and was sneaking a free ride between the cab and the packer. The bird, was a Great Horned Owl.
